Tony Mayberry

Tony Mayberry is one of the premier offensive linemen in the history of Wake Forest football. The three-year letterman (1987-1989) anchored the Deacon offensive line in the late 1980s, helping the Deacons to consecutive winning seasons under coach Bill Dooley.

Mayberry was instrumental in helping make the 1987 and 1988 teams two of the most explosive offensive teams in Wake Forest history. Those two teams combined to go 13-8-1 and scored at least 28 points seven times,

A first-team All-ACC selection in 1989, Mayberry also earned Academic All-ACC honors and he participated in the 1989 Blue-Gray Classic along with teammate and fellow WFU Hall of Fame inductee Ricky Proehl. Mayberry also earned the Bill George Award in 1989 as Wake's top lineman.

Ricky Proehl

Ricky Proehl re-wrote the Wake Forest record books for receiving in the late 1980s and it may be some time before some of those marks are surpassed.

Proehl, who lettered at WFU from 1986-89, owns Demon Deacon career records for receiving yards (2,949), receiving touchdowns (25) and single-season receiving yards (1,053 in 1989). All totaled, Proehl caught 188 passes for an average of 15.7 yards per reception. He led the Deacons in receptions three consecutive seasons and earned All-ACC honors in 1989.

Proehl played on two Deacon teams that posted winning records. After his senior season, he participated in the Blue-Gray All Star Classic and went on to be a third-round NFL Draft selection by the Arizona Cardinals.

Proehl enjoyed a 17-year NFL career in which he won two Super Bowl rings. He played with the Cardinals until 1994 before going on to play with the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears. In 1998, he caught on with the St. Louis Rams and was a key player in their high-powered offense, which helped the team win Super Bowl XXXIV in January 2000. Proehl finished his career after the 2006 season with the Indianapolis Colts, who won the Super Bowl that season. He had 669 receptions for 8,878 yards and 54 touchdown receptions in his 17 year career.

Ricky Proehl was inducted into the Wake Forest Sports Hall of Fame on February 8, 2002. He was named to the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.
